Decommissioning

Unit code:

H/601/1439

QCF level:

4

Credit value:

15

• Aim

This unit will develop learners’ understanding of the types and need for
maintenance of engineering plant and the skills needed to prepare maintenance
procedures and evaluate decommissioning procedures.

• Unit abstract

This unit will examine a number of recognised engineering maintenance
procedures which can be adapted to any engineering plant equipment environment.

Based on an understanding of maintenance procedures and policies,
learners will be expected to identify good practice. They should then be able
to devise a maintenance procedure and a management strategy for engineering
plant and equipment in the workplace.

Within the chemical, oil, gas, nuclear and allied industries the need to
undertake decommissioning of plant is increasingly important and the final
learning outcome of this unit is designed to evaluate the decommissioning
procedure.

• Learning outcomes

On successful completion of this unit a
learner will:

1Understand
the need for and types of maintenance associated with engineering plant and
equipment

2Be able to
prepare and evaluate maintenance procedures and related documentation for
engineering plant

3Be able to identify and evaluate
decommissioning procedures for engineering plant.
